‍At United Founders, trust and transparency are at the heart of how we build relationships — with founders, partners, and our community. That includes how we handle your personal data. This Privacy Policy explains in plain language what information we collect, why we collect it, how we use it, and what choices you have.We’ve written this to be as clear and human as possible. No unnecessary legal jargon — just the facts you need to feel confident that your data is handled responsibly.We are committed to safeguarding your privacy and ensuring that your personal data is handled with care and respect. Our approach is built on transparency and trust, ensuring you have control over your information.

1. Who we are

United Founders is operated by United Founders Partner (GP) S.à r.l., a private limited liability company (société à responsabilité limitée) formed under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, with registered office at 8, rue Lou Hemmer, L-1748 Senningerberg, Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, registered with the Luxembourg Trade and Companies’ Register (Registre de Commerce et des Sociétés de Luxembourg) under number B299756.
For simplicity, when we say “we”, “us”, or “United Founders” in this document, we mean this legal entity.
You can contact us anytime at: hello@unitedfounders.vc

‍2. What this policy covers

This Privacy Policy applies to:

• Our website and online platforms (collectively, the “Website”)
• Any interaction you have with us as a founder, partner, investor, or visitor
• Communication and services related to our investment activities and community initiatives

3. The information we collect

We collect information in three main ways:

a) Information you share with us

When you interact with United Founders — for example, by applying for investment, subscribing to updates, attending events, or emailing us — we may collect details such as:

• Name and contact details (email, phone number, company name, position)
• Information about your startup, product, or company
• Any other data you choose to share in forms, pitches, or communication
  

b) Information we generate or collect automatically

When you visit our Website or use our services, we may collect:

• Technical data such as IP address, browser type, device information, and how you use our site
• Logs of communication with our team
• Data we are legally required to collect for compliance (e.g., KYC/AML checks for investors)

c) Information from third parties

We may receive information about you from partners, investors, or public sources (such as LinkedIn or startup databases) to help us understand opportunities or maintain our relationship with you.

4. How and why we use your data

We use your data for reasons that align with our mission — always with purpose and respect. These include

• Staying in touch: Communicating with you about investment opportunities, events, or updates you’ve signed up for.
• Building partnerships: Reviewing startup pitches and potential collaborations.
• Improving our services: Understanding how people interact with our Website so we can make it better.
• Compliance: Meeting legal and regulatory obligations (for example, anti-money-laundering checks).
• Business operations: Running and growing our community, managing relationships, and maintaining accurate records.

We only process your data when it’s legal to do so — most commonly because:

• You gave us consent.
• We need it to fulfil a contract with you.
• We’re legally obliged to collect it.
• It’s in our legitimate interest (for example, to run and improve our business).

5. Sharing your information

We do not sell your data — ever.
We may share your information only when necessary and under strict conditions:

• Within United Founders: With our team members or affiliated entities who need it to do their jobs.
• With trusted service providers: Such as cloud hosting, IT support, compliance tools, or event platforms — always under confidentiality and data-protection agreements.
• With legal authorities: If required by law or regulation.
• In connection with a transaction: If our business is ever restructured or acquired, we may need to share relevant data with buyers or advisors (under strict legal safeguards).

6. International transfers

Because United Founders operates across Europe and beyond, your information may be transferred to and processed in countries outside your own. When this happens, we make sure appropriate safeguards (such as standard contractual clauses) are in place to keep your data protected to EU/UK standards.

7. Keeping your data safe

We take security seriously. Your information is protected by technical and organizational measures designed to prevent unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or disclosure. Only people who need to work with your data have access to it.

8. How long we keep your data

We keep your data only for as long as necessary for the purpose it was collected — for example, as long as our relationship lasts, or as required by law. After that, we either delete it securely or anonymize it so it can no longer identify you.

9. Your rights

Under data-protection laws, you have rights over your personal data. These include:

• Access: Ask what data we hold about you.
• Correction: Request corrections to inaccurate or incomplete data.
• Erasure: Ask us to delete your data in certain circumstances.
• Restriction: Ask us to limit how we use your data.
• Portability: Request a copy of your data in a machine-readable format.
• Objection: Object to certain types of processing, such as marketing.
• Withdraw consent: If we rely on your consent, you can withdraw it anytime.To exercise any of these rights, just email us at hello@unitedfounders.vc — and we’ll do our best to respond promptly.

We use cookies and similar technologies to improve your experience on our Website — for example, to remember preferences, understand how people use our site, and improve performance.
Essential cookies are necessary for the proper functioning of the Website and are used based on our legitimate interest. Other cookies, such as those for analytics or performance, are used only with your consent.
You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings.

11. Updates to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy occasionally to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal obligations. When we do, we’ll update the “last updated” date above and, if necessary, notify you directly.
